Radical Confidence: 11 Lessons on How to Get the Relationship, Career, and Life You Want
An “unfiltered and unafraid” (Marie Forleo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything is Figureoutable) guide to building the kind of confidence it really takes to live the life of your dreams, from Impact Theory cofounder and growth mindset guru Lisa Bilyeu.
Author Lisa Bilyeu grew up in London, where she was always told her dreams of Hollywood were a little too big for a girl. Despite her first love of movie-making, Lisa moved to Los Angeles and became a housewife—for eight frikin’ years! How the heck did that happen?
Radical Confidence is the “empowering, transformative, and practical” (Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Like A Monk) story of how Lisa unpaused her life to cofound a company that went from zero to a billion dollars in just five years and became the leader in the world of personal development. Transforming herself with a growth mindset, Lisa learned to face her insecurities and inadequacies, embrace new challenges, solve her own problems, tell her negative voice to shut the eff up, and become the hero of her own life by life-hacking her way to feeling confident.
Part deeply personal memoir, part guide to life, Radical Confidence “challenges the deep-rooted beliefs that prevent so many of us from knowing or reaching for our dreams” (Dr. Nicole Lepera, New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work). Lisa teaches you how
-Dream big
-Boost your confidence
-Toughen the F up
-And learn how to save yourself
Full of insight and practical tools for honest self-assessment, mastering emotions, and staying motivated, Radical Confidence teaches you how to be driven by your insecurities to create the life of your dreams.

Audiobook made me feel like I had a big sister giving me life advice.
Notes:
Ask questions until the problem becomes an actionable to-do list.
You only know what you know. When you’re the newbie you have two options: You can be anxious or you can learn.
NOT KNOWING ISN'T A PERMANENT STATE
It’s not how can I, it’s how do I
Don’t let being needed or being the caretaker your identity. You can lose yourself when focusing solely on fixing others.
Does it excite you? Yes or no. Make it binary. Separate your identity (what you know) from your desire (what you want).
Mourn the life you gave to give up to get the life you want.
No bullshit. What would it take? If you’re not willing to do the things, then maybe you don’t actually want *that*
Be BFFs with your inner bitch voice. Talking nice to yourself may not work!
When setting boundaries, consider “I need your help because I’m struggling with…” “I have a problem I’d like to solve together…”
Take a breather from the emotional high. Don’t call the hype-up friend when you need a clear head.
Be the hero of your own life.
